Changing

The trees along the edges are always the first to change. The interior hardwoods are lagging behind.

I love the swamps in S LA....
The trees are much more impressive that I remember them.
We have a son that played for the Saints for a few years, so we got down there a lot...
I wish I had shot more when I was there.
Great scene, capture and processing
I like it...

David, I lived in southern LA for four years and I really appreciate your images. This looks more like a fine art painting. The colors and comp. are great.

Beautiful capture. Quite amazing effect with the mirror effect of the trees. Not a scne that can seen here in Sweden. Lovely !

David, another magical scene on par with all of the excellent cypress scenes you capture. What I like about this one is the lack of water at the base.

Dang it! I love your killer images from here. The trees are just amazing to view and probably even more in person. You always do a great job presenting them to the viewer and this is no exception. The color range here is wonderful. Keep 'em coming.

Sweet! The detail is fantastic, nice balance too. I'm a bit ambivalent about the processing--it does make it look like a 'painting' and that has both positive and negative connotations to me. I think maybe the only thing that slightly bugs me is the highlites on the trunks, the dodging or whatever seems a bit heavy. But im being super picky cause clearly you do the subject justice!

Just keep'em coming!! These are great. You've inspired me to photo a swamp area like this myself one day. Until then your images will more than do.

Nice, eerie painterly feel to the image. I definitely like this one, David.

Fantastic, David. The graceful long lines of the tree trunks set against the pastel autumn colors make this an exquisite image. Love the delicate detail that you achieve.

I love that soft colouring you get in these shots. It just another fine element to all that fantastic detail

Gorgeous! I love how the gray stands out, even with the colorful cypress leaves. The epitome of "old south" imagery.
